[VERSE ONE]
It was a [A]modern love affair[A9][A]
Com[B]pletely cool and [A]casual
They hardly knew each other was there[A9][A]
I mean [B]both of them had their own getting [A]off to do
And they had to [B]dream about their own self
[A]When they were through
[VERSE TWO]
But the [D]modern girl was e[E]lated
With what the [D]revolution [E]gave her
And [D]since she was liber[E]ated she could [D]have
Everything that [E]striked her fancy
[VERSE THREE]
And she [A]fancied quite a bit[A9][A]
I mean if [B]it felt good she [A]did it
And she did it every chance she could get[A9][A]
With her [B]main modern man an[A]d [B]otherwise
And her [A]taste [B]wasn't limited to just [A]modern guys
[VERSE FOUR]
Since a[D]nother modern girl [E]showed her
That [D]modern girls know how to [E]hold her
And [D]after she had her eyes [E]opened
All her [D]old close friends started [E]getting closer
And [B]new friends weren't that [F#m]far [E] far aw[A]ay[Asus4][A]
[VERSE FIVE]
But the [A]modern man he just wasn't so [E]lucky
He bei[F#m]ng shook from his [E]usual role as [B]a heartbreake[E]r
He was [A]completely battered and be[E]wildered
When he actually [F#m] started [E]in feeling [F#m]something for [E]her
And he [F#m]then, he discovered a new [D]emotion
When they [A]stopped ending up together as [E]frequently
[F#m]And when he finally con[A]fronted her with the question
Had she been [F#m]bedding down with others in the [E]periphery with[F#m]out him?
And she replied, Hell [D]yes ain't it funny?
[VERSE SIX]
So [A]view the modern man[A9] [A] [B]looking, looking, looking, like a [A]soft, soft Picasso
He's there with his head in his hand[A9][A]
Re[B]peating to himself an [A]epigram
[B]Live by the scam, die by the scam [A]
It was a [A]modern love affair[A9][A]
